Plan is now mainly related to drying out the MK2
See what the engine is doing, if fixable then it'll stay as it is engine wise.
If it is fully kaput then the mk1 will be a donor with added extras:
Piper BP270H (think they're the right ones) with Verniers.
Belts done while the engine is out.
And add on some janspeed manifolds (unless something better can be done)
Add in a lightened flywheel and LSD.
Renew the engine bushes while its out, I did think about poly bushing them but didn't want to increase NVH into the cabin.
Remap I think at a place in Cumbria called JDM dyno heard good things about them.
All the while the mk1 will be stripped for parts and shell scrapped. Hopefully wont need to come to this though.
I'll get the interior out and try to dry it out and tidy up some bits in there:
Add some deadening material to the floor pan, roof and a/b/c pillars and bulkhead if I can get to it and seal up any holes that aren't used to stop road noise getting in!
Then following that put a thin layer of sound proofing foamy stuff before putting the carpet back in.
Gonn be a busy time getting it back and sorted on the road.
